Shrimp Saganaki

Garides (Shrimp) Saganaki is one of Audrey's favorite dishes (though no longer on the menu) at Zaytinya, one of her favorite restaurants in DC. This recipe is a surprisingly easy replica of that dish. It's fast and can be made mostly with ingredients we already have in our kitchen.

Shahi Paneer

A really yummy recipe - great on the first try. We used paneer instead of chicken, and the result was pretty similar to some of the best Shahi Paneer recipes we had in India.

We used our "Chicken Tikka Masala" spice as a substitute for all of the powdered spices - would use only 2 Tbps total next time. A slightly sweet Garam Masala is a good substitute

An excellent alternative to beef burgers! Mix feta in with the meat for easier "cheeseburger" preparation.
